Ingredients
Cakes
- 2½ cups apple cider
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¾ cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup dark brown sugar packed
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup apple butter
Topping
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoon salted butter melted
Filling
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- ¼ cup light brown sugar
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons heavy cream
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a small saucepan, bring the apple cider to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the cider to about ¼ cup, about 15 to 20 minutes. Allow the reduction to cool in the pot or transfer to a heat-safe mug or bowl and place in the refrigerator to speed up the cooling process.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Set aside.
- In a large bowl or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Add the eggs, apple butter, and cooled apple cider reduction to the bowl and beat until thoroughly combined. Your batter may look like it has separated slightly, that's perfectly normal. Add the dry ingredients and mix just until combined, scraping the bowl as needed.
- Using a medium cookie scoop, portion the dough into the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10 to 14 minutes, rotating halfway through until the cakes are puffed and set and spring back when touched with a finger. Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining ½ teaspoon of cinnamon and the granulated sugar. Brush the tops of the warm cakes with melted butter and gently toss the tops in the sugar mixture, try not to get the flat parts coated or the filling may have a hard time sticking. Set on a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a large bowl or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the powdered sugar a ½ cup at a time, mixing after each addition just until incorporated. Add the vanilla and heavy cream and beat until light and fluffy. Pipe about 2 tablespoons of filling on the flat side of half of the cakes then top them with the other halves.
Notes
- Do not substitute apple sauce for the apple butter in this recipe.
- Whoopie Pies should be wrapped individually in plastic wrap after assembling for best storage.
- Store at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- These whoopie pies may be frozen. To do so, double wrap in plastic wrap and then place in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. If you do freeze, you may want to skip the cinnamon sugar topping as it will dissolve when thawed and make the whoopie pies sticky.
